Hello, nice to meet you! I have been living in the largest city in Vietnam – Ho Chi Minh City – for two years and have explored it thoroughly. If you are flying to Vietnam for the beach, your international flight will likely lead you to Ho Chi Minh City. I recommend staying in the city for at least a couple of days!
And today I want to talk about the best five-star hotels in Saigon. The image galleries and prices get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on September 27, 2024.

In principle, the name already makes it clear that Hyatt is of a very high standard. This hotel combines sophisticated design, handcrafted details, world-class dining, and a feeling of being surrounded by care.
At the Square One restaurant, French and Vietnamese cuisine is served, while at Opera, Italian dishes are offered. The meals are very fresh, prepared especially for you early in the morning. The wide selection of dishes will not leave even the most discerning hungry.
Central district of the city, within walking distance from the main attractions.
This hotel is very elegant, its interior I would describe as classic: it is calm, with nothing ostentatious. All the rooms have been recently updated and are styled in the French colonial era. There is a wide selection of rooms and suites.
The hotel has an outdoor pool, a spa center that uses fresh herbs from the Mekong Delta, local grains, and fruits.
Insufficiently cooling air conditioner, small pool, not enough sun loungers by the pool.
Beautiful location, friendly staff, and special five-star comfort. One of the best breakfasts with quality ingredients and attention to every guest.
High level of service from one of the most renowned hotel chains in the world.

This vintage hotel seems to transport its guests to the middle of the last century. But in a good way - I would really like to visit there!
Not all room categories include breakfast by default. For example, it will be included in the Opera King Room, Deluxe King Room, Opera Twin Room, Deluxe Twin Room, Signature Twin Room, Signature Premium Room, but you will definitely see this information when booking. However, based on reviews, the buffet in this hotel is truly impressive! Western and Asian dishes are particularly noted. For breakfast, hot and cold dishes, fruits and vegetables, baked goods and desserts, eggs, and yogurts are served.
The city center, very close to the opera building and the pedestrian street Nguyen Hue.
A large selection of spacious rooms in French style.
Everything here is standard: spa, massages, pool, gyms, and concierge services. A great set for a comfortable stay.
They note the insufficient number of seats in the lobby bar and the steep stairs to the rooftop bar.
Reviews especially highlight cleanliness, comfort, location, and amenities.
A great option for those who want to take a stroll in the city center - after enjoying all the dishes at the buffet!
Hotel Nikko Saigon
- Distance from city center:
- 8.8 km
- Bar / Lounge
- Free Wi-Fi
- Garden
- WiFi
- Restaurant
- Air Conditioned
- Mini Bar
I included this hotel in the selection because it is designed in a Japanese style, unlike others.
A wide selection of dishes at the buffet, you can try traditional Vietnamese yogurts, fresh fruits and desserts, various types of pastries and bread, eggs in different forms. Of course, no breakfast in Vietnam is complete without pho bo noodles. Guests particularly note the shrimp and mango salad!
The hotel is also located in the central district, but slightly away from the most popular tourist attractions. Because of this, it is quieter and more peaceful here.
In addition to classic hotel rooms, there are also apartments here. The rooms are designed in a minimalist Japanese style.
The hotel has a spa, an outdoor pool, a gym, and a lounge. Events such as weddings and banquets are often held in the garden.
Less convenient location in terms of walking compared to other hotels in the selection.
Users note in reviews the friendliness of the staff, cleanliness, and convenience. According to reviews, the breakfast is simply phenomenal!
An unusual Japanese-style hotel with excellent breakfast, a quiet location, and a relaxing atmosphere.
Sofitel Saigon Plaza
- Distance from city center:
- 9.1 km
- Bar / Lounge
- Massage
- Massage / Beauty Centre
- Free Wi-Fi
- WiFi
- Garden
- Restaurant
This hotel features a luxurious modern design and a clean French style. The feeling of opulence greets you right from the entrance: from the high columns, marble floors, and high ceilings of the lobby to the lavish comfort.
Reviews highlight the “best breakfast” with a wide variety of fresh and well-prepared dishes and constant staff support. You will be able to choose suitable European or Asian dishes for a wonderful start to your day. My advice is to definitely try the exotic fruits and Vietnamese noodles!
The hotel is located in a quiet enclave on a prestigious boulevard in the business, cultural, and shopping center of Ho Chi Minh City. It is just a few minutes' walk to the attractions.
Exquisite rooms combine the style of Provence with subtle Vietnamese motifs. Each room features the patented Sofitel MyBed™, ensuring a restful sleep.
In addition to the standard amenities of a five-star hotel, such as a pool, spa, and gym, there is also a barbershop and a men's suit atelier.
High hotel occupancy, queues, long waiting times. Some reviews mention old bathrooms and rooms.
Users note the perfect location, comfortable bed, breakfast, and bar on the third floor.
Great hotel choice for travelers, including families with children. One of the best breakfasts in the city!

I added this hotel to the selection because of its truly amazing interior. It combines Vietnamese traditions with Italian design. The hotel has repeatedly made it to the top of the leading and most extravagant hotels in the world, which is quite rare for hotels from Vietnam.
The breakfast buffet includes a variety of hot and cold dishes, imported cheeses and meat snacks, fresh fruits and homemade yogurt, bread and pastries, as well as a wide selection of appetizers. Everything you need for a quality rest and a great start to the new day. In addition, the hotel has a total of four restaurants!
The hotel is located on the upper floors of the Times Square Building in the central area on the most touristy pedestrian street in the city.
Probably one of the main advantages of this hotel is the magnificent view of the city. And it opens right from the rooms! Moreover, the suites of this hotel will definitely appeal to connoisseurs of colonial luxury.
There is a large spa area, an outdoor pool (you can't do without it in the Vietnamese heat!), and a fitness club. The hotel also offers a city tour on a Rolls-Royce Phantom Dragon!
As I already said, this is the very center of the city. The pedestrian street is always very crowded, every day. And it is very noisy.
Amazing interior, fine cuisine, attention to detail, and true luxury.
Just look at the photographs of the interiors of this hotel - they truly amaze my imagination. A rich selection of dishes for breakfast, a luxurious spa center - these are the reasons to stay here.
